In the night of Daxia Prefecture, the atmosphere was lively and extravagant.
I had Mou Xiaoning and the others accompany Sister Thirteen to experience the nightlife of Daxia Prefecture while I stayed in my room, repeatedly pondering over the Short Musket in my hands.
"This thing needs practice!" I caressed the gun's body as if I were stroking a beloved woman.
After studying the gun for a while, I felt a bit bored and suddenly remembered the copy of "Street News" I had casually bought during the day. I took it out and lay on the bed to read.
The headline read "Ten Thousand Nations Tournament," and I sat up to read it carefully.
"The Xiazhu Cuju Team has faced repeated defeats since our dynasty was founded, and ten years ago they were unable to participate in the Ten Thousand Nations Tournament, causing great sorrow among our people. This time, the Xiazhu team is led by the Great Inner Court's Cuju Camp, determined to succeed. Regardless of the outcome, this participation is an honor for our dynasty."
"The Xiazhu Polo Team arrived in Yingzhou's capital two days ago. Accompanying them is the Grand Eunuch of the Great Inner Court of Xia Prefecture, who will assist in this competition. He has previously been sent to Yingzhou and is well-versed in polo; we hope his presence will bring good fortune."
"The special envoy for this Xiazhu delegation is the Deputy Minister of Rites, with the Right Censor as the co-captain. The delegation consists of fifty members, with thirty participating in events including Cuju, polo, wrestling, horse racing, and archery. We wish for victory for the Xiazhu warriors."
After finishing, I sighed. At this moment, Xiazhu was weak and struggling; even participating in the Ten Thousand Nations Tournament was a new endeavor.
"Oh court, when will you become strong?" I put down the newspaper and looked out the window.
The neon lights outside flickered, bringing a glimmer of brightness to this dark city.
I suddenly noticed an advertisement in the corner of the newspaper: "World Lantern Festival, a dance that leaves one breathless."
"What is this?" I curiously finished reading the advertisement, which turned out to be for the World Lantern Festival.
"To celebrate the grand event of the Nations' Competition, various chambers of commerce in Haining have jointly funded the World Lantern Festival. We have invited renowned Western dancers to perform, and during this event, the Xiazhu Dance King and Xiazhu Dance Queen will be crowned. The Vanzhou Magic Troupe will provide live support. Date: July 24th, Year 30 of Daqing. Location: Jinfeng Road at Kaibu Port, Golden Blossom Theater. Organized by: Xiazhu Goulan Chamber of Commerce. Tickets: Two taels of silver."
"A global dance party?" I became interested.
"Western Dancer? Vajra State magic?" I pondered as a plan began to form in my mind.
I found the shopkeeper of Wanbang Restaurant.
"I am Mr. Ge, who might you be?"
"I am Ye Yifan, Mr. Ge. I would like to ask you something," I said.
"Oh, it's Mr. Ye! Please go ahead; I will tell you everything I know," Mr. Ge replied politely.
"Mr. Ge, do you know about the global dance party?" I asked.
"Of course, Mr. Ye! This is a major event in Haining," Mr. Ge said with pride in his voice.
"What can you tell me about this Western Dancer?" I inquired.
"Mr. Ye, he is the most famous dance king in all of Exotic, known for his extraordinary dance skills along with the Vanzhou Magic Troupe; they are truly remarkable. It took quite a bit of effort to secure their performance and the magic show from the Vanzhou Magic Troupe," Mr. Ge spoke with admiration.
"What is the background of this ball?" I asked again.
"Mr. Ye, this International Ball is organized by the Xiazhou Goulan Chamber of Commerce, with funding from wealthy merchants in Haining. The purpose is twofold: first, to celebrate the International Games, and second, to add some flair to Haining."
